Genre: Blues
Places I remember: I had a bespoke cassette tape of this courtesy of Roger Marbeck but then saw a cheap CD version in The Warehouse.
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Layla
Gear costume: San Francisco Bay Blues
Active compensatory factors: This went mega for Eric at the time and it's kinda easy to see why. The MTV unplugged format suited him and his easy going blues treatments to a T.
He's in a warm, relaxed, laid back mood throughout and without the video you don't have the constant fiddling with the slipping glasses as a distraction.
One slight niggle is that it's maybe a song or two too long. Less is more Eric! A lesson that wasn't learned with the reissue which added 6 more songs!
Where do they all belong? From The Cradle was next up a year or so later. An electric version of some blues standards - it's worth checking out too.
